How do they get away with calling it Fox "News"? That's what I want to know. There's no news on there at all, it's all balderdash. I don't care about "love your neighbor as yourself", Bill O'Reilly is a dolt.

@Rich: Indeed... the unedited version would have been more suitable for this blog, since of course, Fox edited out most of Maher's points regarding religion. http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/oreilly/index.html#/v/4355597/bill-maher-unedited/?playlist_id=86923

O and BTW I think it was a good debate... uninformed/slanted equally on both sides. Something I might like to listen in on in a bar or something. I would say it was a draw, or that Maher came out a bit ahead in the end, at least in the unedited version. Anyone notice the unedited version portrayed O' as even more moderate?

Bill Maher needs to work on his dealing with the "but that's the old testament" defense. It is common for "Christians" like O'Liely to rebuff questions of the Bible by saying that the immorality that is there is all in the O.T. and that their New Testament is the book to be using. But with a bit of knowledge and preparedness, Bill Maher will be able to send this lob pitch of an argument into the bleachers. I know he is more a comedian than a debater, but being that his comedy often comes from trying to show the oddities of a large percentage of human thought, he might win a few more supporters over if he can wack Bill O's nonsense out of the park.

Bill Maher could have defended the fact of evolution, instead of just saying "we don't know either", falling into O'Reilly's trap that both sides require faith. Basically the Christian argument is, "you're as bad as we are".

O'Reilly dismisses the "pre-Jesus" Old Testament stories as merely alegorical, yet he still buys into New Testament stories of virgin births, walking on water, water into wine, healing blindness & leprosy, and of course the resurection.

As evidence to support your point, here's one of the top comments on the youtube page for this video:

"Surely Republicans like O'Reilly should hate jesus afterall didnt﻿ he say a camel is more likely to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man is to passing through the gates of heaven, which totally contradicts the capitilism O'Reilly stands for"

Yeah, and that's Maher in a nut shell (emphasis on the 'nut'). I'm not going to trade my idiot religious overlords for idiot socialist ones. 6 to one, half dozen the other.

Well, the subject was Atheism vs. Christianity. It's pretty dangerous to bring up evolution as a counter to religious nonsense; you'd be insinuating that they are on some equal level. The "I don't know" is in response to whether there is a God or not. Evolution is immaterial.

Bill O'Reilly showing what kind of hypocrite he is again. How many times has he name-called a guest on his show a freagin "pinhead" which is quite obviously him mocking someone because he thinks they are stupid?

Nobody on here should be surprised how Andrew idolizes fiscal conservatism. He just replaces religious mantras with hateful diatribes about leftist policies. He's chidlish in his approach and unthinking in his stance. Just let him be satisfied in his individualism and self-service.

Andrew, How exactly does that quote bolster any of the points prior to your comment? The fact that Jesus contradicts capitalism is hardly a secret, and 'thinking christians' recognize this and visibly wrestle with it.

Since when are the inconsistencies in a religion evidence for or against capitalism, socialism, or any other economic system you may wish to choose?..

The wuote was pulled directly from the YouTube comments for this video. it's evidence of exactly what Kory Graber was saying, that both are idiots and the left has a religious ideology that they're pushing too. if we want to talk about politics, then we can have as rational people. But so long as anti-religion sentiment is constantly and openly conflated with left wing political views by athesits and lefties alike, that can't happen.

When you start using bashing religion as a means of attacking people who you disagree with politically for entirely different reasons than their religion, that's dishonest. How many of these videos recently are taking pot shots at christine o'donnell (somethign Maher does in this video)? How many tiems are we goign to bash Sarah Palin for her faith but, not mind when Obama sites his Christian faith as reasoning for his opposing gay marriage? Or Joe Bidens numerous appeals to faith regarding almost everything?

Fox News is becoming a straw man against any conservative or libertarian view. The lie is that if Bill O'Reilly is an idiot then all right wingers must be idiots, and instead of arguing for the validity of each policy decision, you jsut have to prove that 1) Fox is against it and 2) Fox is full of idiots, like that's somehow the same as proving a point. This is two idiots arguing to hear themselves think, but it's clearly being interpretted ny the common "thinking Christian" and "free thinking atheist" as meaning something that capitalism sucks (just read the YouTube comments).

You want a real disucssion about fiscal policy, then fine, but this is just as back handed and dirty as the bias propaganda that Fox puts out, and one doe snot jsutify another. I'm not frustrated because I don't agree witht he message, I get frustrated with propaganda even when I agree with it (which is clear from my reaction to other videos). Try being a little bit objective and actually doing some of that "free thinking" that we're supposed to be all about.

True.Don't forget, Bill Maher is great if it comes to monologues.If it comes to word feud, phrase against phrase - he's somehow soft and indecisive.On the other hand - B.O'R. is a master in his own class. It looks like he has a riposte for everything his opponent's saying. And, he does this with the variety of smirk smiles, intonations of his voice, hand gestures, shoulder gestures.He's honestly earning his millions from Faux News.

In other words - B. O'R refuses to be beaten in the debate. That's all.

Please let me know if you're looking for a writer for your site. You have some really good articles and I think I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I'd absolutely love to write some content for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine. Please blast me an email if interested. Regards!

I don't write many remarks, however i did a few searching and wound up here "Bill Maher vs. Bill O'Reilly". And I actually do have some questions for you if you usually do not mind. Is it simply me or does it look like a few of the remarks come across like they are left by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are writing at other sites, I'd like to keep up with everything new you have to post. Would you list of all of your social pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on various websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform.

I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it? Any help would be really appreciated!

I'm impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter a blog that's both equally educative and entertaining, and let me tell you,you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is an issue that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I'm very happy that I found this in my hunt for something regarding this.
